Hey guys, GH2 owner.. I have seen Rokinon's 7.5mm Fisheye they have for m43'rds and then I saw their 85mm F14 telephoto lens made for 4/3rds (on my wish list) for $300!!

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/769411-REG/Rokinon_85M_O_85mm_f_1_4_Aspherical_Lens.html

So I decided to take a look at their site and find out they have some also a 24mm F1.4 lens for $800.. I know its not as popular as the Voig F0.95

Furthermore, they even have CINE lenses coming soon, including a 8mm HD Fisheye T lenses

and 35mm T1.5 CINE lens for Canon (for now hopefully)..

under $600 !!!!!! deal or no deal??

Wanted to get other people feedback about Rokinon and their come up with lens for both photographers and now cinematographers...

Apologies if you know this already, but if you are looking for more reviews, you should search for 'Samyang' as this is the brand name used for them in Europe.

I've got the 85 and the 24.

Can't really complain about the performance or value of either (although the 24 is relatively 'expensive' is Samyang terms so doesn't seem as much of a steal as the 85).

Andrew did an extensive review of the 24 on here earlier this year with interesting comparisons between it and the the alternative from Sigma

ok, whats BMD?

did you see that Rokinon is making a CINE version of their lens, starting with the 24 and 35, so the aperture ring will be smooth instead of clicks, and will have teeth for follow focus, and markings on lens..

Interested in those as well for my prime list.
